I've been reading through a lot of articles about Web/Library 2.0 lately. It's facinating stuff. Dr Wendy Schultz's article struck the biggest chord with me. For me, the biggest impact of all the discussion surrounding the future of libraries is that it's all web-dependant. I consider myself to be fairly familiar with internet culture but a lot of the stuff Dr Schultz is talking about seems like sci-fi to me. Some of the concepts she discusses, like "star librarians" existing almost exclusively in an online form, pretty much already exists today, except that they're not trained librarians, they're just people who know how to research the web.
However, still a lot to consider.
